Levels of Collaboration*

Consumption:
My students used the library to type and print their papers, print graphics, and/or construct their exhibition boards.
Cooperation:
I informed the library staff about the project. The library staff provided resources for me and/or my students to use.
Coordination:
I provided the library staff with content goals, expected product(s), due date, and assessment criteria for this project. I consulted with the library staff about the types of resources the students would use and the amount of time required in the library. The library staff taught my students how to access and use resources and assisted them with research.
Collaboration:
A member of the library staff and I planned this project together. Time spent on this project in the library, the computer lab and/or the classroom included learning experiences jointly taught with library staff. The library staff participated in assessing my students’ work. Students’ use of resources and their information literacy skills were assessed along with mastery of content.
